TIE BuFFALos AGAIN.

THE BUFFALOS AGAIN.
Weather permitting, the Portlands will
play the Buffalos again this afternoon, and
there is no reason why it shouldn't be an in
teresting game. The Buffalos tried hard
yesterday and will do so again today, to win,
and the game is likely to be close. Zell, their
best pitcher, will be in the box. Game will
be called at o'clock.
PoRTLANDs, 5; BUFFALos, f.
1t was cold afternoon at the base ball
grounds yesterday, but there was quite
crowd present at the game between the
Portlands and Buffalos of the International
League. and they were well repaid for going.
The game was close and exciting through
out, and even in the ninth inning it was very
doubtful who would be the winner. The
Portlands presented for battery Small and
Thayer, and the former repeated his good
work of Friday, although he was batted
little harder The Buffalos were not able to
earn a. run eff his delivery, however, theirs
all being scored on errors. On the other
hand the Portlands earned all five Of theirs,
batting Walsh, the Buffalo's pitcher, quite
Ireely when hits were needed. The Buffal0s
are good appearing men on the field, quite an
Improvement over their league brethren, the
Syracuse Stars, and worked hard for the
game. Galligan, the old Portland favorite,
was with them, playing in right field, and
did some good work with the bat, making
three safe hits. He was loudly applauded
when he stepped to the bat:
first inning. Grant, the ''colored Dunlap"
took first on hit, stole second, went to
third on q Dut-out, and came home on a
passed ball. Lekane took first on put-out
at the home-plate, stole second, went to third
on the passed ball Grant scored ON, and
md nrtno hnn Ia.
In the fourth inning another was added by
Walsh, who took first on Hatfeld's tumble
went to second on Galligan's hit, and came
home on a wild pitch. The last score was
made in the fifth by Grant, who took first ON
a hit, second on an attempted put-out at first
third on a tumble by Schoeneck. and came
home on Remsen's put-out. In the last half
of the ninth inning, when the score stood
to 4 against them, Calihan, the first man at
the bat, got two-base hit to left field, but
there.
The Portlands did not score until the
fourth inning. Hatfield got his base on balls,
went to second on Thayer's hit, and came
home on Davin's two-bagger: DAWN went
from second, home on SmalPs hit to right
field. In the fifth, Thayer took first ON
hit, second on Dayin's put-out, and came
home on Schoeneck's hit. In the eighth,
Lufbery took second on a hit, and came
home on BARRIERS hit to left field. The last
and winning run was made by Hatfield, who
got his base on balls again, stole second and
third and came home on Schoeneck's put
out. All five of these runs were earned.
Both clubs played a good fielding game.
Thayer's passed balls were in the first part
Of the game, and the cold weather was a
good excuse for them. Lufbery played
fine game at short, making brilliant stop
and throw to first in the fourth inning Dav-
in made fine catch in centre field, and threw
to first in season to make double play. Fol
lowing is the score:
